Can this be used as a roasting tray?

Yes. I already had a roasting rack so I didn't need to buy one. It doesn't come with one.

I've never used it for a roast however, it probably would hold a 5 or 6 pound roast. You might have to cut the roast in half. It's deep and hold quite a lot.

That would depend on the kind of roast and cut of meet. Even if the food extends past the length of the rack, it would be elevated in the pan. I guess you would have to determine the size of the pan you need to hold the meat or poultry.

Not meant to. Never tried though. By the looks of it you could but it would be hard to get back on. Legs lay flat underneath for storing. I have used in oven as roasting tray on top of pan.

Here is a quote from the instruction manual to answer your question: "Baked goods like cakes and breads can also be prepared using the Roast function. An 8-inch round or square pan or a loaf pan fits well on top of the roasting rack. For baking, the roasting temperature should be set the same as you would your oven." I personally have not tried it, however.

Technically yes, but a egg platter tray might be a better option. It might be a tight fit.

Sorry, no roasting rack, and the non-stick coating lasts a very short time. If they'd just make it in stainless without a inside coating.

You should be able to. We got it for cooking a rack of lamb, which is not very balanced, and had no problems.

I wouldn't put a whole roasted turkey on the tray, but a plate of food or TV dinner would be fine. I would only use a drink container that had a lid (commuter coffee cup like thing). I wouldn't put a tall, heavy glass tankard full of beer on the tray.

hi, yes you can, but i suggest u choose other tray that is concave so that the crumbs dont fall apart

I don't have one, but, if you're going to cook a roast, I think it would be a good idea to get the roast up and off the cooking surface. If you planned to use a drip pan, I really like the V rack idea. Then you could have a roast and all the "fixins." Good luck and good eats, Van.

I think you could, but the top wouldn't be a flat work surface using the middle tray unless u turned it upside down. Might need to drill a few holes but I think it could work

If you were really desperate, like you had no other saucepan or pot in the house, I guess it might work. The metal is thin and you would get hot spots and that's where the gravy would become cooked solid. Then your cleanup would damage/scrape off the porcelain finish. Then you would be throwing away the roasting pan because it would be rusting...

Not sure that you can since roasting is a dry heat method where the heat in the oven surrounds the food. With the exception of the sauté function, cooking in this is about moisture with little evaporation. If you turned the unit on sauté and tried to roast something, it would be like tring to roast something on a pot on the stovetop -- that method isn't roasting.

Yes you can, but make sure you get the same exact trays for this machine. It has a slight oval shape not the round or square shape of most. Just need to make sure they will stack.

Yes, it makes a great pan for roasting chickens or ham! I use mine for lots of things.

I don't think so. The tray is a soft rubber like material and doesn't appear to be designed to be stackable.
